Abstract

The embodiment of invention discloses a wireless firmware FOTA update method. The method is used in server. The method comprises the steps of receiving a firmware update request from a terminal, wherein the firmware update request contains at least a terminal type, the country code and version number of the local firmware in the terminal; responding to the firmware update request, checking if a target FOTA update data which has a version number higher than the current firmware version number which can matches with the country code and type, wherein the firmware update notification information is used for notifying the terminal that data which can be updated exists. The embodiment of invention further discloses further discloses a FOTA update device and a server.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to wireless firmware (FOTA, Firmware Over-The-Air) technology in the field of communication, in particular to a FOTA updating method, device and server. Background technique [0002] In order to meet the needs of users and provide users with better services, smartphone manufacturers will frequently provide firmware update services such as drivers, operating systems, and applications for smartphones. Since the FOTA method allows users to automatically download the update file corresponding to a certain smartphone model through the smart phone using the network, and realize the update of the smartphone operating system and applications, most smartphones use the FOTA method for firmware updates. [0003] With the development of the Internet and the popularization of smart phones, the users and markets targeted by smart phones are getting wider and wider. Usually, there are dozens of customized versions of firmware for differe...
